Le Châtelard seeks to cooperate with the parents in the integral formation of their daughter. Le Châtelard offers each student the practical techniques and the academic knowledge that she will need for her personal and professional future.

Oak International endeavours to ensure applicants have all necessary information regarding registration conditions and procedures.

Compliance with admission requirements in a timely fashion will help secure a place at one of the academies. Those who submit their application after the deadline cannot be assured admittance. In the case of two simultaneous admission requests, preference will be given based on academic grades.

School life is not just about going to class; it is also about putting into practice what students learn, and creating opportunities to develop abilities and hidden talents. During field trips and outside activities, students can also build relationships with their teachers outside of the classroom, which will eventually help them to learn better.

THE ACADEMY

Le Châtelard Academy was built as an elegant hotel for the European nobility. It has conserved its Belle Époque style.
Surrounded by a beautiful park of 4 hectares, the building is in a valley, between the mountains and the lake, at an altitude of 1000 meters.

THE WEATHER

The weather in Switzerland is strongly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. Very often, the westerly winds bring moist and mild maritime air into Switzerland.

This means that during the winter, this air has a warming effect and in the summer a cooling effect. It ensures that there is enough precipitation in most regions all year around. Therefore, the Swiss Alps act as a climate barrier between Southern and Northern Switzerland. Southern Switzerland receives indeed much milder winters than the Northern part because the Mediterranean Sea mainly influences it.

My experience at Chatelard is one that I really cannot fully describe. It was something that I would love to live over again many more times, since it was something that left a deep impression on me that will last my whole life. For me, my year at Chatelard was the best year of my life so far because it changed me as a person, and I discovered a lot of things about myself. I learned new things and traveled to many places where I had tons of fun because I was sharing all of those moments with my friends from Chatelard , that I could even call sisters. Thanks to Chatelard I discovered new talents and ever since I went I have wanted so badly to return there and relive that year. I would like to be able to send my daughters to Chatelard one day
